• Body language cues, thoughts, and visceral responses for 130 emotions that cover a range of intensity from mild to severe, providing innumerable options for individualizing a character's reactions

• A breakdown of the biggest emotion-related writing problems and how to overcome them

• Advice on what should be done beforedrafting to make sure your characters' emotions will be realistic and consistent

• Instruction for how to show hidden feelings and emotional subtext through dialogue and nonverbal cues

• And much more!
